The sea is literally a minute from the front door, as are the boutique shops and restaurants of Church Road, so you couldn’t be better located to experience the quintessential Hove lifestyle. With plenty of kerb appeal, the exterior is immaculate in cream with stone steps leading down to the garden flat’s own street entrance on the lower level.

Stepping inside, it is immediately clear the current owners have a refined eye for colour and interior design, using a bold and stylish Farrow & Ball palette throughout, blending Mid-century Modern styles with the property’s original Victorian features. Herringbone parquet flooring flows from the entrance hall into the reception rooms to the left, while the walls add a pop of colour in dusky calamine pink, creating a warm and welcoming space to come home to. The scale of the flat becomes apparent as the ceilings are high and being double fronted, there is a feeling of space and openness.

Spanning the depth of the building, the living room and kitchen are open plan with a peninsula arm of the kitchen creating a visual divide, providing clearly defined areas for relaxation, formal dining and cooking. The entire easterly wall is glazed with Crittall style doors bringing both form and function to the room, linking the interior with the garden which becomes a natural extension of the home during summer.

Within the kitchen, streamlined white cabinetry provides a wealth of storage with concrete worktops while also concealing integrated appliances and leaving space for a range cooker which may be available by separate negotiation. Handmade scalloped tiles form a splashback and side panel to the island which doubles as a breakfast bar for informal dining below pendant lighting.

Both bedrooms sit on the other side of the hall with the principal room in racing green sitting to the front of the house with a wall of built-in wardrobes to maximise the floor space. Bedroom two is currently dressed as a single room, but it would happily house a double bed and freestanding wardrobes. Peacefully positioned to the rear of the house, it enjoys garden views, and while it is a lower ground property, it feels naturally light throughout.

With easy access from all rooms, the bathroom is also bold in racing green with a large walk-in wet-room shower with fixed glass panelling.

Outside, the private garden is a fine size for a period property so close to the city centre. A patio area sits close to the kitchen with space for a table and chairs so you can enjoy drinks and dinner alfresco. Steps lead to the upper level where a second patio area catches the sun from the south and an area of lawn with flower bed borders can be landscaped for growing plants. A more recent addition, the garden office is insulated and lined in ply with electricity and lighting for use all year round. As a versatile space, it could be used as a home gym, teenage den, treatment room, workshop or more, depending on need.<br /><br />This property is situated in a popular area with lots of local shops and the beach on your doorstep. There is a new Co-op and a large Tesco supermarket within 1-minutes’ walk, plus some artisan bakeries and shops on the Kingsway parade. Church Road and George Street eave you spoilt for choice for shops and eateries, so this is an excellent part of the city in which to live. The city centre shopping districts and parks are also within easy reach, and this home also offers easy access to Hove Station which has direct and fast links to the airports and London.
